Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the funnest and liveliest game in town! Congratulations to all who achieved their personal goals, and particularly Roy Kamen who won 3 games, cumulated high score, high game, mostest bingos=13, and words in the assigned category. Gretchen Cowan was right next to Roy for the high game at 1004. Janet Goldstein surprised us all for coming in second in cumulative score, and also found a word in the “farming” category. Renee Kahn also won 3 games, and was able to find the assigned categories for all sessions including the FER- word for all day category. Bill Lapinski came in 3rd, and played 12 bingos. Najat Reikes couldn’t be beat with her highest scoring bingo of JESTING=171 points. In this club, anybody can play anyone. It begins with drawing the name of your first playmate. For the next two games, the player is paired according to the last game’s score. Whoever scored the nearest total compared to others, those players will be paired. For example if my score is 911, I will be paired with the one whose score is 949.

Thanks for your invite to get my feet wet with Super Scrabble. Everybody exercised great patience with me making it easy to ease in on playing on a big board with 200 tiles. The catered Thai food was sumptuous to say the least. Maliha, you were an magnanimous hostess. The whole day was so festive. Cheers! Paul

It was one of those fabulous sun shining California weather that most states throughout the USA would envy during this time of the year. SuperScrabble Club players gathered to experience again this great mentally-enhancing word game. We were all gladdened to see Paul Trachtenberg playing with us for the first time, and two players Gretchen and Najat right away volunteered to show Paul how to navigate the SuperScrabble board. Gretchen got the job because she had the seniority privilege. Now you see, it is not that different compared to playing the standard Scrabble game. Big WELCOME to Paul, who made our day sweeter.
